From Kamakura Station, head southeast... it's walkable if you try hard enough.This place has become quite popular.I was grateful to receive another invitation to visit.We started with a refreshing dish for early summer: edamame chawanmushi (savory egg custard).It’s visually cooling, isn’t it?I’m also thankful to enjoy the fish from Fujimoto-san.The simmered dish using eel and soft-shelled turtle broth was exquisite.For the finale, we had five different dishes.There was the obanzushi (pressed sushi) with Oakamuro horse mackerel, mink whale ramen, and a rice dish with swordfish, among others.The vibrant flavors of the rice dish and the beauty of the mink whale were captivating, and the horse mackerel sushi was simply irresistible.That day, we also enjoyed mango and sake lees ice cream, along with seasonal wagashi (Japanese sweets) that reflect the month of May, topped off with a charming firefly presentation.Thank you very much!Omakase Course: JPY 33,000- Edamame Chawanmushi- Kakuni Mochi (braised pork belly rice cake)- Sashimi of Nodoguro (blackthroat seaperch) and Aori Ika (bigfin reef squid)- Hasu Tofu (lotus root tofu) and Abalone Soup- Grilled Oomon Hata (grouper) with bamboo shoots- Tempura of Sado Octopus- Clam and Fresh Asparagus Somen (thin noodles)- Simmered dish of Eel and Soft-Shelled Turtle BrothFinale:- Obanzushi with Oakamuro Horse Mackerel- Marinated Kihada Tuna Rice Bowl- Mink Whale Ramen- Rice Dish with Swordfish- Zosui (rice soup) with Hayama WasabiDessert:- Sake Lees Ice Cream and Mango- Wagashi with Blueberries and BurdockBottled BeerJapanese Sake (540ml)
